11.19.2018 - The Adults

The Adults

 thanks to NetGalley, Random House and Caroline Hulse for the opportunity to read this book.  While your holiday family gatherings may not turn out like the one in this book, you can bet that there will be drama.  Grab this book and hide in the corner from your family reading it.  I was just in the mood for this book - I liked the dry wit, the snakiness, the truth of it all.

Matt and Claire are the divorced parents of Scarlett.  They decide to spend Christmas together at Happy Forest to make good memories for Scarlett.  However, they also bring along their new partners, Claire's boyfriend Patrick and Matt's girlfriend Alex.  Oh, and Scarlett has an imaginary giant rabbit, Posey.  What could possibly go wrong?  Plenty - the book opens up with Alex making a 911 call that someone has been shot.

I also liked the way the author interspersed Happy Forest brochure pages and police interviews along with all the different points of view to tell this story. Lots of fun!
